When considering an upgrade from a Ryzen 5 5600X paired with a Radeon 7900 GRE, the decision often comes down to choosing between the Ryzen 7 5800X3D or moving to a new AM5 platform. For gaming titles like Escape from Tarkov, Rust, No Man’s Sky, and heavily modded Minecraft, which are known to be CPU-intensive, the 5800X3D offers a significant performance boost without requiring a motherboard or RAM replacement. This makes it a cost-effective solution to alleviate bottlenecks. However, transitioning to AM5 provides a more future-proof foundation, though it involves higher upfront costs for the CPU, motherboard, and DDR5 memory.
